  • 78. Contemplations on death from an embodied perspective

    I watched "Come See Me in The Good Light" and it destroyed me in the best way. This documentary focuses on the life of poet Andrea Gibson and their partner, Megan Falley, as they navigate Andrea's incurable cancer diagnosis. I felt so compelled to share my contemplations, because I don't think we talk about death, grief, and loss enough in our society. What if facing death allowed us to live more fully? What if welcoming grief allowed us to love more deeply?

    I hope this episode expands your capacity to hold the duality of the human experience.


    And I HIGHLY recommend watching "Come See Me in The Good Light." It's available on Apple TV and YouTube. Make sure you have an entire tissue box nearby.

  • 77. The power of integrating the body, mind, and spirit in your healing with Dance/Movement Therapist, Melanie Smithson

    This is a beautiful and powerful conversation with fellow dance/movement therapist Melanie Smithson about the deep healing that occurs when we go beyond the mind and tap into the wisdom of the body. We talk about moving with the energy in the body, dis-identifying from thoughts, and the liberation that comes when you integrate creative movement into your daily life. Melanie is an award-winning author of Stress Free in 30 Seconds and has just released her new book Shake Yourself Free, which provides accessible ways to start connecting to your body to move with emotions.

  • 76. Somatic healing & plant medicine for couples: how to break free from childhood wounds with Stevie Wright

    Such a beautiful conversation with Stevie Wright, a somatic healer, plant medicine guide, and couples work facilitator. In this episode, we talk about how somatic healing helps us to unstick the emotional residue from childhood wounding. This often manifests most obviously in romantic partnerships, where all our deepest wounds get poked at. Stevie talked about how she helps couples process these wounds using somatics and plant medicine, so that they can create conscious partnership rooted in presence and loving witnessing.

    Stevie travels around the country doing private and group plant medicine retreats and incorporates somatic processing for deeper integration.

  • 70. Therapy vs coaching: my thoughts as someone who has been in both worlds

    As someone who trained and worked as a therapist, then left the system to create an online coaching company, here are my thoughts on the unique strengths and gaps in each field. I talk about my experience with therapy and coaching, both as a client and a professional.

    Both are here to stay. They don't have to compete. One doesn't have to be inherently better than the other.


    I feel that my role is to support both therapists AND coaches in deepening their personal embodiment and professional development.
